Home Projects

Back in January we woke up to a little flood downstairs that originated from the half-bath. Apparently roots had grown into the drain pipe that runs to the street and caused a backup. So it ruined a lot of carpet and we had to take it all out. Bright side is, we decided to go ahead and upgrade to hardwood floors. After a long process of water clean-up and then floor installation, they look great. We thought we'd post some pictures for those who haven't been over to see it yet.

We also had a little mini-remodel done in the half-bath downstairs. It all started with Cory coming out of the restroom saying, "That faucet in there is really ugly." Me: "Yep. And the sink looks like it belongs in an elementary school bathroom next to a urinal." Next thing you know, Cory does some research, we end up at Home Depot with our friend Don, and we come home with a new sink that we proceed to install (at 9pm on a Wednesday night). I think it's proof that men can "nest" too.

Here's the boys working:

And here's the finished product:

Someday we'll get a medicine cabinet that matches or paint the one we have, but we love the sink.
